5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous for Students Exploring Sociology, October 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Practical Skeptic: Readings in Sociology (Paperback)

McIntyre selected great content for this collection--the articles are interesting, thought-provoking, informative, and exciting. In fact, I'm buying the book AGAIN because I lost it, I have to write a research paper, and I can't think of a better source to use! It's a great starting point for nearly all pertinent social issues, and it's organized very cleverly with review questions at the end of each article. VERY good buy!

This review is from: The Practical Skeptic: Readings In Sociology (Paperback)

This is one of the best reads I've ever read. The language is simple, and it is very interesting to read of so many different studies which reveal what's going on in our society or about our human behavior. Definitely looking for other compilations like these which enrich your knowledge and give you good reading as well.
